AN ALL NIGHT C0NF ERFNlE.
special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. C.-At tae Chinese
legation there was 5 conference last night
between the proposed banking syndicate,
the minister and the mandarins VINO &C
ccmpanjed MiJke0vie'z to this country.
This conference lasted until very Iste
hour, and the result was hat q cablegram
was sent to China to-day in
which the names q the gen
tlemen who have subscribed for
stock of the syndicate were gwen. 1t
seems that the amount of money to be
subscribed has Oeen OYeTstated 1t is
/ SIS, 100000 instead Of S2J0, 100000. OF
! this sum 81, 600, 400 has oeen subscribed
/ by the Chinese. one of the secretaries
OF, the legation said to-day that the
| Chinese government would take So, 0C0,-
| 600 Of the stock and that the other ) ;
! 000 600 has been subscribed by merchants
in the Chinese empire. There we're 3
number Of men with
MORE OR LESS CAPITAL
at the city hall this morning early vine
were anxious to get IN on the ground
floor, but they were too late. Il is said
that DreXel, Morgan & Co. OF PhiladeI-
pnia have agreed to take up 52,C00,000 oil
stock, which Will be sold in the United
States, and that every share is spoken
for. Mr.. Cnang Yeng Hoon, the Chinese
Minister, is said to hsYe been fully satisfied
with the responsibility OF the gentlemen
who form the syndicate and there is tx,
CelIent authority for saying inst the con
cessions were completed to-day by the
addition of his signature to the papers
which were brought from China by Count
MitkeovietZ and his fellow travellers
The amount at which the scheme j,
capitalized will seem rather small for the
enterprises which are to be undertaken
but it is said that the sum
WILL BE AMPLE
for The present, IS the empire OF China i:
not developed up to the point of grIdirou
ing the country as yet The cost o
labor is so low in China that the worl
will be accomplished ct 81 expenditure
far less than similar enterprise
would require in this country, II seem
that the concessions are really one con
cessiOn. a bsGk is to be established
with capital of S2j,O0J,0o0 and witt
the power to issue circulation up to The
full value Of the Stock. The charter o
the bank carries with it the right to En-
gage in telegraph and railroad Construc
tion. II is understood that the full term
Of the concession will be published
from PhilaGelpl ia tomorrow O. Thursday
While the hnar cial record Of Nitkeoyiet
in the United States may not have beer
always Just what it should be, the Chimes
mandarins who accompanied him seemed
to have the highest regard for hi
ability as g financier. They praise hi
shrewdness, and consiter him as s sor
of savior. They assert that his entepris
will be the making Of the empire.
